Right. Seems too coincidental that last November-December, we had
grading done sloping the ground away from the house, and drain tiles
put in. During the previous spring-summer months we had heat pumps
put in for each floor (along with propane backup), so the house has
become drier than it ever has been (built abt.1975).
There has been movement before in the same place, but now there seems
to be more, so that I can "see" the gap from the counter to the
drywall.
Thanks.
